Wednesday, later on

All Smooth! New Stripes! It's a little confusing in the middle of the village, right now, with arrowless turning lanes, but - as soon as the new traffic signal is put into operation - all should become clear. (We hope!)

The best part is that all of those catch basin drains that used to stick up above the road surface, threatening tires, are now just a tad below that surface and now it's all a smooth ride.


New lines have also been painted at the White Street crosswalk in front of the Historical Society and in the village parking lot off of White Street and in the Library Parking lot.




Also at the library, extending plantings with nice Fall "Mums."

Bev Heidel Bartlett who lives in Pratts Hollow (please see archived post 8/27 "100 miles later..") wrote to Katie Peck, "The church is the one we go to, our youngest son was married there. The hotel (that must be 'Coonrod's?') is still open on occasion, it looks much better inside, so they tell me. I haven't been inside in many years. My daughter, Mary Lou and her husband go there once in a whlie, he has a blues band that plays several times a year. The guy that owns it is a NY lottery winner( they say he won several million) and he only opens when he feels like it.Years ago Pratts Hollow had several industries, and lots more residents, now it's just a sleepy little town, but I like it here."

Gayle (Donovan) Ladd from Martinsburg, West Virginia, writes: "I havn't lived in Waterville for 30 years and SO enjoy (the Blog.) Thanks for taking such wonderful pictures - it's nice to see the old town and keep up on what is going on."

And a friend of Bob Harding's E-mailed him from one of the Carolinas and said, "Check out that blog!" (He did; he likes it!)
